D.H. Day Campground, Glen Arbor

Good primitive campground close to all the major attractions in Sleeping bear dunes. It was clean and well maintained. Had water fountains close to our campsite. Only thing I wished it had was a shower area and bathroom. Currently it just had porta potties.

We camped in a tent just a few minutes walk from the beach. We were so close we could hear the waves at night in our tent. The sunset over the lake was beautiful and the beach wasn't too crowded. In the morning we were one of only a few families exploring the beach. Our kids enjoyed searching for Petoskey stones in the pebbles and we had a wonderful lazy morning there. We didn't get to go explore the night sky because our kids fell asleep early and our campsite was heavily wooded but the pockets of sky that we could see were spectacular! We only stayed one night this time but we will definitely be back for a longer stay.

The beach here is fantastic! Love that it’s dog friendly with a nice boardwalk so close to the campground! Even with the campground packed, you can find plenty of solo time on the beach, which makes for a gorgeous sunrise. I had spot 64 (non-hook up) and it was a perfect location for beach access.

Tent camped at this campground this past weekend. It is a very simple campground. Vault toilets (they were fairly decent for a vault toilet ) , dumpsters throughout the park, with a few recycle bins and drinking fountains throughoutut. Site was cleared, surrounding the sites is a lot of poison ivy, so just watch the edges of where everything is cleared. You can buy "firewood" from a trailer vending machine. Cash wasn't working unless you had singles, so had to use credit card. $5 a box and did burn longer than the firewood I purchased from an approved vendor (sign at front of park). Quick walk to the beach, downtown area about 5 minutes down the road, trails nearby and plenty of activities within 45 mins. It was just my dog and I, did the scenic drive, ate at Art's Tavern, shopped in Petoskey Petes, went to the beach and checked out The Village of Grand Traverse which are all dog friendly options. Cherry Republic has a dog friendly patio, but store itself isn't. There's another patio across from Art's Tavern that has an icecream shop attached, along with a bar and a HUGE seating area. The guy working wasn't very friendly, and they aren't dog friendly. Coffee shop nearby, as well as a market store in case you forget anything. All photos attached are within the campground.

Favorite place in all of the world, for summertime fun, relaxation and quality family time. We have traveled (GraytJourneys4U.com) to many places, in many countries and D. H. Day has consistently been a family favorite for over 30 years. The only downside, which just began within the last couple of years, is that now instead of getting a campsite in a first-come, first-serve manner, you must have a reservation, which makes it very difficult to get into the camp grounds now. Many sites are reserved and not used. Make sure you check the website for availability frequently, for cancellations which will allow you to make a reservation for one of the greatest camping locations anywhere.
